Discover John Legend’s Exclusive New Etsy Collab

Grammy winner and philanthropist John Legend has partnered with Etsy on a limited-edition decor and lifestyle collection, co-designed with an inspiring group of Etsy shops run by women, Black and underrepresented sellers.

“It’s important for me to fill my home with high quality pieces made by people who approach their craft with intention,” says John Legend. “Each item in this collection was made with joy in partnership with makers who inspire me, and I hope these special pieces make you feel right at home.” The sellers featured in this Creator Collab represent five countries, including the US, Canada, UK, Bulgaria and Poland.

Drawing inspiration from John’s own interior style and life at home, this co-created assortment of pieces features earth-toned ceramics and planters, intricately-woven baskets and vases, textured throw pillows and elevated pet accessories.

“I love Etsy because it gives a platform to so many creative and diverse makers, who pour their heart and soul into their work. Getting to collaborate with these talented artists was such a special experience, because the finished products tell a story about the people who made them.”

As a champion for marginalized voices, John prioritized working with underrepresented sellers for the collection, including two members of the historic Gullah basket weavers community, part of the Etsy Uplift Makers Program.

Passed down for more than eight generations, the Gullah basket weaving crafting technique is considered the oldest African craft tradition in the United States – dating back to the 1700s when enslaved rice farmers first brought the art form to South Carolina. This Crowned Stand Basket is handmade by a 6th Generation Gullah Weaver and took over 200 hours to complete. It is hand-woven using sweetgrass, palmetto, bulrush and pine needles.
